     With Halloween quickly approaching, here at DisneyPixarFanatics we are continuing with our Spooky Holiday themed collectibles. The WDCC Animator's Choice statue Admiral Duck features Donald Duck all dressed up in a sea admiral costume. The piece was inspired by the 1938 Disney Short "Sea Scouts" and is a 1994 members-only sculpture. Donald stands 6 1/4 inches tall and comes complete with a life-saver.  This Disney sculpture features gold plated buttons and epaulettes. Admiral Duck is extremely well done and can only be found on the secondary market.

Villains Parade Snowglobe

     Celebrating 100 years of Disney magic in 2001, Walt Disney World held their very first Share A Dream Come True Parade, which is now an annual tradition. The parade consists of 'snowglobe' character floats, that are surrounded by Disney characters. To commemorate 100 years of magic, along with the new celebration, a series of float inspired snowglobes were released to Disney Theme Parks, recreating the parade, in a limited production run.

      The villains float, titled "Face the Darkest Fears", features Chernabog, The Evil Queen, Captain Hook, Maleficent, Ursala, Cruella De Ville, Jafar. Pain, Panic and the Magic Mirror. The snowglobe is an exact miniature replica of the float. It stands 9" high and plays the tune "Grim Grinning Ghosts" from The Haunted Mansion theme. It comes in a standard Disney Theme Park white box and can only be found on the secondary market.

Nightmare Before Christmas Domed Vignettes by Tosin Pack

    With only one week to go until Halloween, we at DisneyPixarFanatics are excited to continue with our spooky and scary collectibles. Some extremely detailed Nightmare Before Christmas pieces are the Tosin Pack domed vignettes imported from Japan.



          The 12 Faces of Jack domed vignette is a Limited Edition release of 2500 pieces. The figure comes complete with 13 interchangeable heads, as well as special tweezers for handling them. The dome measures 7 inches with a rosewood base. The detail and quality of this piece is spectacular. This vignette has become very sought after on the collectible market.

      The Zero Tosin Pack dome vignette features Jack's ghost dog resting in his favorite spot beside his very own christmas tree. This dome measures 67mm and is only available on the secondary market. These pieces are all hand painted, done with amazing attention to detail.



        Jack's House domed vignette by Tosin Pack is an exact miniature of Mr. Skellington's Home as seen in the movie. Everything from his gate, to the crooked stairway leading to his front door is a perfect replica. The amazing detail that went into the making of this piece is unreal! This dome measures 67mm and is only available on the secondary market.

Limited Edition Captain Hook

     Released by Disney and Mattel in 1999, Captain Hook was the first limited edition doll of what was supposed to be an all male villain collector doll series. For some reason this series was discontinued before a second doll could be released. The quality of Hook's costume is amazing! Everything from the plume on his hat to the buckles on his shoes were done just right. I especially like the facial expression they used for the doll, it is a perfect portrayal of the on-screen villain. The captain comes complete with a stand and certificate of authenticity.

Pirates of the Caribbean

             In continuing on with this month's Halloween theme, here are some of our Pirates of the Caribbean collectibles.

     Medicom Toy has produced a Mickey Mouse dressed up as Jack Sparrow Vinyl Collectible Doll. Mickey acquires Jack Sparrow's personality along with Jack's outfit, implied by his stance and facial expression. The outfit comes complete with Jack's rings that he likes to show off, as well as his hat, sash, coat and sword. We would strongly recommend this piece to any Pirates of the Carribean collector.

     Neca released 18" Action Figures With Sound for each of the Pirates of the Caribbean films. Each figure is sculpted very well, recreating the characters identical features. The packaging is also very well done, with window front for display (with map background), with lots of detail on the back and colourful graphics to surround the sides.

     Jack Sparrow was the first character, made from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. He comes with a sword that can be held in his hand, a pistol, his trusty compass, his hat and signature pirate outfit. Says phrases from the film when activated by motion. This piece can currently only be found on the secondary market.

     For Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Neca released an 18" Cannibal Jack figure to follow the first. This Jack has the "cannibal" paint on his face like Jack has in the film, the necklace of human fingers around his neck, as well as a bottle of rum and an interchangable hand. Says phrases from the film with activated by motion.

     From Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Neca released an 18" Captain Teague figure. This figure comes with two pistols, a sword and a matching base. He also comes with Jack's late mother's shrunken head. Captain Teague, who is played by Keith Richards, has immaculate detail on his face and outfit to pay respect to the film. Also says phrases from the film with activated by motion and can only be found on the secondary market.
